Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of North Appalachian Indian Pottery, Vol. 13 In any matter of controversy between our own country and any foreign power, in which our men folk would be called upon to rally to the colors, there can be no shadow of doubt as to their quick and willing response, for we are a patriotic people. But in our love of our country, as a whole, may we not at times fail to allow our affections to go out warmly enough to our Homeland, the mountains amid which we were born, the valleys in which we have lived since childhood and to the people whom we have come to know well only after long association with them? Many of us seem, at least, to grip but lightly on these things by the apparent unconcern with which we sever all these ties and go out among strangers in strange places. Has not one of the strongest characteristics of our race always been its warm attachment to the home the family and the homeland? Has not our influence upon the history of the world been largely because of this element in our characters? So this paper has been written, about a part of our goodly state of Pennsylvania, as a contribution to our knowledge of the people to whom this was Home in times when our people were aliens to the soil; and because the writer believes that our home acre has as much interest, of this kind, as the other parts of our great land, to which so much attention has been given and about which so much has been said. And, underlying all these considerations, that our people may come to know the real American Indian better, and that, understanding him better, may do him more evenhanded justice than he has heretofore received. The writer believes that the American Indian has the elements of a sturdy manhood in him, and, if given proper opportunity, that he will take his place side by side with the rest of us, which is his proper place, in this The Land of his Fathers.
